Surfing in North Norfolk
Learning to balance in the waves as you surf from Cromer’s beach is great fun. You can take lessons and hire equipment from the highly rated Glide Surf School, a family-run business. I’m going to confess that I’ve never tried surfing, so can’t say it’s my favourite thing! But, Cromerhas become an increasingly popular destination for surfers in Norfolk, where I’m reliably informed that deep swells, good waves and ice-cold seas are fast making North Norfolk and Cromer a mecca for the die-hard s...

Sample Norfolk Seafood
The seas off the coast of Norfolk are bountiful with shellfish including crab, mussels, prawns and lobster, and fish like Longshore herring and skate. This is because an ecosystem is created by a current of cold water which sweeps south from Norway and brings an abundance of nutrients with it. A longshore drift is created as this current arrives on the North Norfolk coast, creating the perfect environment for seafood and fish to thrive. Much of this produce is caught and sold to local restaur...

Discover Norfolk’s Castles
Norfolk is a county full of fascinating history, and that means there are also castles! Dotted around the gorgeous landscapes and pretty rural villages of Norfolk are many historic castles for you to explore. Some of these places to go in Norfolk are remarkably well-preserved and some are atmospheric tumble-down ruins, whilst others are castles in name only, and all that remains are the massive mounds and grassy earthworks to show what once existed. My favourite Norfolk castle is Castle Acre...

Discover Norfolk’s RNLI
For generations, the Norfolk coast has been watched over by brave volunteers, who put their lives at risk to rescue others at sea. These original crews were often fishermen, without any special equipment, who knew the tides and sandbanks of this gorgeous, but treacherous, coast. In the early 19th century, wealthy Norfolk residents and patrons provided towns with a large boat, to act as a lifeboat. Often these were dragged in and out of the water by the crew, but in Wells-next-the-Sea, the lif...
